March 12, 2012 - Hawker Beechcraft Global Customer
Support (GCS) announced it will open a new satellite
Hawker Beechcraft Services maintenance facility at
DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) in Atlanta today.
The maintenance facility will specialize in full piston
engine aircraft services, offering annual inspections,
routine maintenance inspections, avionics checks,
recertification, oil changes, and performance and
comfort upgrades, including the Bonanza Xtra package. Although Hawker Beechcraft Services at PDK will focus on piston engine aircraft, the center is capable of servicing any aircraft in the Hawker Beechcraft fleet, including King Air, Premier and Hawker aircraft. |

?DeKalb-Peachtree is one of the busiest general aviation
airports in the country and this new facility positions Hawker
Beechcraft Services to better serve transient operators as well
as those based on the field,? said Christi Tannahill, senior
vice president, Global Customer Support.
?From
unscheduled maintenance and aircraft-on-the-ground support to
avionics checks and recertification, Hawker Beechcraft Services
at PDK is the perfect complement to our existing full-service
facility at the Fulton County Airport (FTY) on the west side of
Atlanta.?
The
facility at PDK consists of 12,000 square feet of hangar space
and 2,300 square feet of office and shop space. Hawker
Beechcraft plans to hire up to 20 technicians there in the next
18 to 24 months as the new maintenance facility ramps up. An
open house is planned for May. Hawker Beechcraft Corporation is a world-leading manufacturer of business, special mission, light attack and trainer aircraft designing, marketing and supporting aviation products and services for businesses, governments and individuals worldwide. |
